Pumpkin leaves and butternut

I’ve been having a craving for green vegetables, whole meals without any meat at all. Just a starch and something green. It is not easy to convince this man to go more than a couple of days without any kind of meat. Unless I plan to serve a whole lot of beans! The last time I did a whole week of no meat at all I heard about it (^_^)

4 cloves of grated garlic and grated butternut

He was picking me up from work and as he ways does. usually he walks in and says hello to a few of my workmates before we leave. This time he walked in and bellowed out “Babe! I want meat!” I didn’t even know how to respond to that. I just turned at my desk and stared at him like a deer in headlights.

It was late when I started this meal, but it cooked quick. Veggies cook much faster than meat, so if you ever want to make something quick, make it vegetarian. There is a sukuma recipe my mother makes where she mixes in some butternut. I didn’t have any sukuma, but I had some blanched pumpkin leaves in the freezer.

fry the garlic and butternut in some oil, when the butternut softens add 1 chopped onionthen the washed, cut and blanched pumpkin leavesserved with ugali

The first thing he said when I handed him his plate was “No meat?!!”
This is nice, very nice if you like green veggies. I would add more pumpkin leaves next time though.
